Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: The Caribbean in the latter part of the seventeenth century, and into the eighteenth century, is under pirate rule. To maintain his claim to the islands, the King of England appoints Lord John Hume as governor of the Bahamas. Hume, along with his wife and daughter, Abigail, set sail. Colleen Edwards, daughter of an English Privateer, meets Abby while on an errand for her father. An immediate bond forms between the two women and the infrequency of their contact leaves them both hungry for a more permanent arrangement. When Abby is captured and held for ransom by the notorious pirate Jack Rackham, Colleen and her father set out to rescue her, but when Charles Edwards is wounded, Colleen continues on the quest alone. If she can succeed in freeing the woman she loves, will it be possible for the two of them to create a life together?

The Sea Captain and the Lady
If you love swashbucklers, this story has lots of action and romance. Reading about the Captain fighting for her lady love, reminds me of the old movies I used to love, with a different twist to the gender of the Captain, of course. I loved the characters of Colleen and Abigail and their journey to be together against all odds.
There are not many like it, and for those of us who love the whole idea, we have slim pickings to choose from and very few have Vada's deft humor and characteristic fun with phrasing, alongside a romping good yarn.

Wonderful period romance on the high seas!
This is a wonderful period story about two women who find love in one another and the lengths they will go to in order to be together. The setting is the Caribbean in the days of Pirates and women who often had to hide their sexual identity to be able to work for a fare wage. You will be able to smell the salty air, feel the sun on your face and fall in love with the women in this story. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romance with a little salty dog twist. The editing is superb and the plot and characters are fantastic making this a read not to be missed.
